in the early sixties, the danish designer verner panton together with the vitra realised an idea which had preoccupied him for many years by producing a plastic chair from a single moulding. in 1967, the panton chair went into mass production, it was immediately regarded as a sensation and won many awards. one of the first chairs is exhibited in the museum of modern art, new york and today the panton chair belongs to the classics of modern furniture design.
the sculptural panton chair is now produced in an affordable matte polypropylene version. this version was authorized by panton in the 1990's and realised one of his fundamental objectives: to create a plastic chair as an affordable industrial design. the chair can be used indoor or outdoors and can be stacked up to 4 chairs high. available in white, black, yellow, blue & orange-red.
